i have set up a for i= 1... loop in a function, so that the loop is beeing called. Somehow after the loop is beeing broken bcc of a intended other factor, the next time it get's called 2 loops are beeing played.

this is the code:
ReplicatedStorage.wait.Event:Connect(function()
for i = 1, disasterTime do
wait(1)
print(i)

    if i == disasterTime and fix == false then 
        Skip = true 
    end
        if fix == true then

fix = false
break
end
end
end)

prime lark i still encounter the same problem

ReplicatedStorage.wait.Event:Connect(function()
for i = 1, disasterTime do
task.wait(1) -- wait 1 second (use task.wait instead of wait because devs cried about it)

    print(i)

    if fix then
        -- If someone fixes the disaster mid-countdown, stop the loop early.
        fix = false
        break
    end

    if i == disasterTime and not fix then
        -- Time ran out and nobody fixed it.
        Skip = true
    end
end

end)

whats the problem now

prime lark Jul 17, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

the problem is that is still prints two times the i value so it means that 2 loops are beeing run if i am not mistaken

ok

weak marten Jul 17, 2025, 5:22 PM

If i is printing twice, you’re probably not crazy—your event is getting connected multiple times.

The problem isn’t the loop itself,
it’s that you’re probably doing:
Modifier
ReplicatedStorage.wait.Event:Connect(function()
-- loop here
end)
multiple times, so you have 2 or more connections stacked.

yeah youre right

weak marten Jul 17, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

If you only want one listener at a time , store the connection and disconnect it before re-adding:

#

local waitEventConnection

-- Before connecting again:
if waitEventConnection then
waitEventConnection:Disconnect()
end

waitEventConnection = ReplicatedStorage.wait.Event:Connect(function()
-- your loop here
end)

prime lark Jul 17, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

thanks 😄

#

let me try it

#

maybe i just understood it wrong it still doesn't work

#

local waitEventConnection

-- Before connecting again:
if waitEventConnection then
    waitEventConnection:Disconnect()
end

waitEventConnection = ReplicatedStorage.wait.Event:Connect(function()
for i = 1, disasterTime do
    task.wait(1)  -- wait 1 second (use task.wait instead of wait because devs cried about it)

    print(i)

    if fix then
        -- If someone fixes the disaster mid-countdown, stop the loop early.
        fix = false
        break
    end

    if i == disasterTime and not fix then
        -- Time ran out and nobody fixed it.
        Skip = true
    end
end
end)
